Parenting is an amazing experience. It also means facing new responsibilities and demands.
It can take it out of you. And, so all caregivers are invited to attend. Come meet
other parents in the hood- it takes a village.
This is a relaxing and energizing class where you can balance and re-energize and
learn the principles of yoga to support yourself to be the best parent you can be. You will
learn how to breathe so that you re-energize yourself. You will learn how to create
awareness and move safely in postures and transitions to protect your back and
strength your supporting muscles so that you can use that awareness to stay safe and
strong with your babe off the mat. We practice both a gentle flow of postures and
breathing techniques to help you handle the stress and fatigue of being a new parent.
Best of all you get to bring your little bundle of joy with you!! We’ll spend some special
time massaging and playing with them and including them in poses when it’s suitable. In
my class you get to make the practice work for you and your baby: whether you choose
to include your baby in your pose or make faces at them while they hang out on your
mat; whether you need to put them to sleep or are tending to a feeding or diaper need anything
goes. I just want you to feel good and comfortable! Class is tailored to pre crawling
babes but all babies are welcome to attend and no prior experience is necessary.
*Note: Modifications and specific postures tailored to support strengthening your body
are offered in each class so new moms can feel safe easing back into a physical routine
after birthing. However, please note that is recommended to wait 4 weeks after birthing
vaginally or 6 weeks after a cesarean birth to start back into a physical exercise routine.
And, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional to see if yoga is suitable for you at
this time.
